Age Of Shadows

[Tom Englund]
We never saw this coming
Pride comes before a fall
We never heeded the warnings
Buried deep within us all

[Steve Lee]
The age of shadows has begun
[Daniel Gindelow]
Giant machines blot out the Sun
[Steve Lee]
Frozen minds becoming numb
[Daniel Gindelow]
The age of shadows has begun
[Steve Lee]
The age of Shadows has begun
[Daniel Gindelow]
I won't accept what we've become
[Steve Lee]
We stand to lose more than we've won
[Daniel Gindelow]
The age of Shadows has begun

[Tom Englund]
Our quenchless thirst for knowledge
Our urge to change and grow
Our need to expand the nation
Made us rise from the depths below

[Jonas Renkse]
Time (time, time) but a passageway (a passageway, a passageway)
The beginning of the end (of the end)
An end that never was (was, was, was)
Time (time, time) but a curve in space (curve in space, curve in)

We are forever (we are forever, we are forever)
Eternal prisoners in time (in time, in time)
We are forever (we are forever)
Caught in our cold inertia

Longing, hoping, waiting, for no one

[Anekke van Giersberg]
Forever we yearn, forever we learn
Forever we live a lie, forever slipping by and
Forever we flee (forever we flee), forever we will be
Forever is but a dream, forever is but a scream and
Forever we try, forever we die

The spell of love wore off
The zest for life not enough

Longing, hoping, waiting, for no one

Never enough
